1. Forming a petal. Cut a piece of wire, 9 inches long. string on two of the assorted color beads, (I used clear,) then string on 10 of your dark color beads and 2 more of your assorted color beads. Push the beads until they are about 2 inches from the end.

Form a loop with the beaded portion and twist once to hold the beads in place.

Working with the long end of the wire string on two assorted color beads, 20 dark color beads, and two more assorted color beads.

Form the beaded section into a loop going around your first loop, and twist to hold.

Working with the long section of wire, add 4 of the assorted color beads, 25 dark beads and 4 more assorted color beads. Form into a loop and twist.

You have now completed one petal. Follow the steps to make a total of 5 dark color petals, and 5 light color petals.

I finally gave this a shot this morning. I was short on beads so I could only make 6 petals total, but it still turned out wonderfully. My daughter will wear it in her hair to church today. Thanks so much!
